Our server had a failure last night, so they have built a new one and are in the middle of restoring right now. I have a ticket in, but I suspect that once the restore is complete we'll have most all of our posts back. Stay tuned!

In the meantime, it may not be a good idea to post anything for a while. We'll keep you posted.

Why does this sort of crud always happen when I'm away... but I digress.

I checked the forum control panel and there is no automatic backup/restore on the forum level. There was no manual backup done recently.

So, unless the ISP has a more recent backup than the one they used to restore the forum, any posts made between Oct 11 and yesterday have been lost. Also, anyone who joined the forum between Oct 11 and yesterday (and there were at least two) have also lost their accounts.

It's unfortunate, but there's not much that it appears that we can do.
